    Hi everybody,
    I have a nood question, please tell me something: what's the difference between sprite and texture? What the better choice if I make a app to read comics? Thank you.

    Sprite is a section of an image. It is Texture2D + Rect which describes which part of Texture to use.

    It all depends on your needs. If you can pack lots of small images into big sprite atlas (Read: http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SpritePacker.html), you will get better performance.
